Parents are the closest people to you in the world. They love you just because you’re you. And they would do anything for you.
Like a lot of middle school students, Zhang Li has a problem. She and her parents don’t get on well.. “ I really want to be my daddy’s good girl. But it seems he just doesn’t understand. He talks to me but doesn’t listen to me,” said Zhang Li, a student from Grade Three.
Do you and your parents also have problems?
A study last year showed that 1500 Beijing families had the same problem as Zhang’s family. The children, 12 to 15 years old, didn’t like talking with their parents much. They weren’t happy at home. Of course, lots of other children feel that way. But you and your parents will be much happier if you can be friends. Here are some ways to have a good talk with your parents: find a good time to talk, like when you’re eating dinner, going out for a walk or watching TV. Tell them something you’re interested in, or ask them about their lives when they were young. They love to talk about that! Listen to them carefully, and look at them in the eyes.
If you try these ways, you will probably get on better with your parents.

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is a(n)   1  of reconciliation. It involves three steps —— sharing appreciation, expressing   2  , and expressing hurt and difficulties.
In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the   3  qualities of the other person. The second step——expressing regret, is to  4 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her  5 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the   6  to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we express our own hurt with mindful and loving   7  without blaming or criticizing.

We ask the other person to help us to understand why he has spoken and acted as he has, causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings so that we can understand him more deeply. If a strong   10  arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply   11  and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes   12 . The other person can   13  us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing "Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends   14 . By doing this, we will   15  misunderstandings from accumulating. Rather, we will take care of them as they arise, as we take care of our children.
